the beans are fed whole the protein in the seeds is wasted, any system 

 of grinding which will render the seed protein available as food 

 increases very materially the probable value of the bean. It will be 

 seen by the analyses that the seeds contain a much larger percentage 

 of protein than the remainder of the pods. 



The algeroba bean samples included two specimens of beans (beans 

 and pods) 2s os. 1 and 2: samples of meal made from beans a year old, 

 from fresh beans, and from seed coats; selected pods with the seeds 

 removed; the seeds from selected pods; and average pods with the 

 seeds removed; and the seeds from them. 



The two samples of rice bran, Xos. 1 and 2, and the rice polish were 

 purchased in the Honolulu market, as was also the sample of cocoanut 

 meal.
